Remote control freeze

My Samsung DVD-R130 has decided not to let me change channels on the remote control.I've tuned the unit on and off again but it keeps loading as if there is a dvd in the recorder when there isn't.I can play dvd's and record normally, but i can't turn the unit off with the remote or change channels. everything else works fine..help!! thankyou

Hi friend have a tech check your remote it could be damage and not transmitting signals to verify that take a radio and tune into AM point the remote it press the button on the remote.you should hear some static noise like putty putty putty constantly if you do not hear that then you could say that your remote is damage.if not then have a tech look at your set the IR could be bad and needs to be replaced.good luck.

Take out the battery an hour,put in back in,have the same problems.The remote is dead.Try website like Remotes.com to buy an exact remote.Yes,u can use the manual control buttons on right side of the tv,but a little hard.

Hello Giancarlo, You'll have to use the projectors remote for T.V. tuning. I don't think the samsung DVD remote will operate your projector or your T.V. channels, will it? If it does, You just have to switch the input button on the remote to change between T.V. and Video. I hope that helps.
